Dear Stephen L. Isgett:
On March 4, 2021, Blane Houck from the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division of
Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), visited the subject site located at 1824 South
Main Street in Lexington,Davidson County,North Carolina.The site visit and file review revealed
that Isgett Distributors, Inc. has neither applied for, nor obtained coverage under, an NPDES
General Permit No. NCG080000 (Transit and Transportation) for stormwater discharges from the
site. The site currently discharges stormwater affected by processes on site to receiving waters
designated as Michael Branch, a Class C waterbody in the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin.
An NPDES permit is required to discharge stormwater to waters of the state in accordance with
G.S. 143-215.1(a) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (hereby known as NCAC)
2H .0126. Enclosed with the inspection report is a copy of Notice of Intent (NOI) that shall be
filled out and submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality within 30 calendar days of
receipt of this Notice. Submission information can be found in the NOI.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office requires that the violations, as detailed
above, be properly resolved. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. Your efforts to undertake
activities to bring the subject site into compliance are not an admission,rather they are actions that
must be taken in order to begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues.The timeliness with which
you submit an NOI,the degree and extent of harm to the environment,and the duration and gravity
of the violation(s) will be considered in any civil penalty assessment process that may occur.
